Old Crown Round Fell Race
Hesket Newmarket, United Kingdom • 6 Sep 2025
Old Crown Round is a category AL fell race organized by Northern Fells Running Club. It covers 36km with 2200m of ascent. The start and finish are in Hesket Newmarket at the Old Crown Pub, and the course forms a loop of the Northern Fells, with checkpoints on Carrock Fell, Blencathra, Skiddaw House, Skiddaw, Knott and High Pike.
The terrain blends road, track, paths and open fell, demanding navigational skills and resilience in mist or cloud on exposed summits. There are three marshalled river crossings and a 70-minute cut-off at Carrock Fell. Poles may be allowed to aid inclusion; the village is family-friendly with a pub, shop and playground.
